Firefighters found four dump trucks at the site fiercely burning. They spent two hours working to put out the flames before the job was done.

The fire has been deemed non-suspicious, according to Jackson Public Safety Director Joseph Candido and police chief Matthew Kunz.

One of the trucks had a mechanical issue and caught fire, Candido said. The flames spread to the other trucks.

No one was at the business when the fire started.

Earlier this month, a Brick Township man was charged with arson in connection with a 350-acre wildfire in Jackson.

The Shotgun Wildfire started on Nov. 6 at the Central Jersey Rifle Range. According to the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office, the blaze was started by a dragon's breath shotgun round.
